Type Juggling Security Check (A03:2021)

Analyze PHP code for type juggling vulnerabilities exploiting PHP's loose comparison behavior.

Detection Patterns

1. Loose Comparison with User Input

// CRITICAL: Loose == comparison with user input
if ($request->get('role') == 'admin') { } // '0' == 'admin' is false, but 0 == 'admin' is true!
if ($token == $expectedToken) { }          // Type juggling bypass possible

// CRITICAL: Password comparison
if ($password == $storedHash) { }          // NEVER use == for security checks
